In case you’ve never heard of them, Minima are an amazing four piece who do audacious 21st-Century interpretation of the images of silent and avant-garde film. Although it was a [...]

To help this along we’ve annotated the image of one of our mini substations to give you an idea of how to make your own usable electricity from pedal-energy. Click on the picture or here to see.
